What Is It Anyway?

In case you're wondering about the mess that is President Obama's Libyan mandate (and that of the economy among others) here is Monica Crowley, apparently as confused as the rest of us. So what the heck is a "kinetic military action?" Is it anything like a "man-made disaster?" Is it a war between psychics? Is Professor Xavier involved? Is Magneto? Please someone tell me. She also has a few more questions...

Right?
